Absolutely amazing. This has been a really fun thread to follow.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

I'm.....so.....jealous.....

If you sell your house, I call dibs.

Better be all humble and quiet like Rich..... Or the neighbor will feed you to her dog. And I think it IS very capable of eating people.

I like the blue on a tank this big. The starphire glass looks incredible - peice of advice though DON'T use a mag float. I have small random scratches on my glass from my mag float, and I hear scratches are more visible in starphire glass.

Are you going to finish the front?

sweet thought i missed the show but made it for the best part

Awesome!

Tubs hold sand. Figured put them in there before the glass to prevent lifting several hundred pounds of sand over the top.

No mag floats for sure...

"Cat" fish already gave me the "Don't even think about it" look.. lol

Yeah finishing the front will happen as soon as I am sure there are no leaks.

The thing in the middle is a board that if moved more than a 1/8" out (A bow in the glass) it will fall. Just there so I know what to expect with the glass.

Trying to make sure I understand this - does this mean you've got it standing there on edge as a test of whether the glass bows, because if it bows a little bit it'll knock it over and you'll know?

So far so good, it seems. Very cool. Hope the good luck continues.
